Batch Removal of Word Headers and Footers


is there native utility in word 2007 or word 2010 remove headers , footers multiple documents in batch-wise process?  targeted document population contains mix of .doc , .docx files.

we migrating new edms.  our current headers/footers contain, example, document numbers not same in new system.  therefore, need strip out headers , footers native word content before migration.  doing manually prohibitively time consuming.

thanks,

a macro doing find/replace on documents in single folder shown in http://www.word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/batchfr.htm. macro can used framework task.

the code related directly find/replace changed step through each section of each document, setting text of each of 3 headers , 3 footers (primary, odd page, , first page) empty string. code of sort can found @ http://www.word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/replaceanywhere.htm.

to catch both .doc , .docx files, add question mark in expression dir$(pathtouse & "*.doc?")
